WHAT ABOUT TRANSPORTATION?
Persons responsible for bringing children to the Program in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon are required to sign students in or out of the Kids' Care classroom.

South Redford Transportation Department will bus children from Kids' Care to the school they attend in the morning and will bus the students from their school to the Kids' Care Program for the afternoon. Transportation applies to Vandenberg and Fisher schools only, as Jefferson and Addams Elementary both have Kids' Care Program centers within the buildings.

WHAT WILL MY CHILD BE DOING IN THE KIDS' CARE PROGRAM?

Activities are supervised, but not rigidly structured. Children will have time for free play, art-projects, watching video tapes and exercise on the playground. In addition, students will have access to computer and board games, as well as a quiet corner for homework and reading.
